What is the maximum number of electron the n 2 electron shell can hold?
8
How many places are there for electrons in the third shell of an atom?
The third shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. This shell consists of three subshells - s, p, and d - with each subshell being able to accommodate a certain number of electrons. The s subshell can hold up to 2 electrons, the p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons, and the d subshell can hold up to 10 electrons, totaling 18 electrons in the third shell.
How many of atoms are in the 3rd shell of an atom with 4 shells?
If you are asking about the number of electrons then it would be 8. The first shell can hold a maximum number of 2 electrons. The second and third shell would have a maximum of 8 electrons each.
How many electrons are in its outermost shell?
It depends on the element in question. The outer most shell of electrons will hold the remainder of the electrons after all inward shells are filled. The first shell will only hold up to 2 electrons. After each shell holds up to 8 electrons (if the atomic number is <20).
What is the number of electrons that can occupy the second shell of an atom?
The second shell can hold eight electrons.
How many electrons does a complete valance shell hold?
the number of electrons in a valence shell is 8
What is the maximum number of electrons found in any shell of the known elements?
A nucleus can have up to seven shells and the maximum each shell can hold is 2N^2. The maximum number of electrons found in any shell of known elements is 32.
What is the number of electrons that can be found in the 1st shell of neon?
The first shell of Neon, known as the K shell, can only hold two electrons. The first shell of any chemical element can only hold two electrons.
Each shell surrounding an atom is limited in the number of electrons it can have?
Yes. The shells of an atom have different limits for how many electrons they can hold depending on the size of the shell. For example, the limit of the first shell is just two electrons, but the bigger second shell can hold eight electrons.
What is the number of electrons that can occupy the first shell of an atom?
The first shell can hold two electrons only.
Why is chlorine in period 3?
Chlorine is in period three because that is how many outer shells it has. One period is one shell... In the First outer shell you can only hold.. 2 electrons. Second outer shell can hold 10 electrons. Third outer shell can hold 18 electron. Protons + Electrons = Atomic Number Atomic Number - Atomic Mass = Number of Neutrons in Outer Shells
What is the maximum number of electron that an outer energy level can hold?
Each inner energy level of an atom can hold a maximum number of electrons. Electrons orbit around the nucleus of an atom in shells. Each shell has a set maximum number of electrons it can hold, and the shell has to be completely filled before electrons can start filling up the next shell.
